"We work closely with the Environment Agency and have in place an agreed plan to reduce
sulphur dioxide levels at Stanlow.
Nevertheless, despite the easing of
sulphur dioxide emission, Phivolcs said the volcano continues to show signs of continuing restiveness within.
The Clean AER project will cut down those emissions to between 20.000 and 25,000 tonnes of
sulphur dioxide per year.
Most of the
sulphur dioxide on Venus is hidden below the planet's dense upper cloud deck, because the gas is readily destroyed by sunlight.
"Today's council decision on
sulphur dioxide in marine fuels is an encouraging first step to clean up shipping emissions to air that cause 50,000 premature deaths every year in Europe," Antoine Kedzierski, shipping specialist at T&E campaign group, said.
Since July 2004, Sri Lanka has encountered problems with a number of consignments of "Ceylon Cinnamon" exported to the European Communities on the grounds that consignments contained
sulphur dioxide (SO2).
As they enter the planets' upper atmospheres, they heat up to temperatures of approximately 1000 degrees Celsius, releasing gases including
sulphur dioxide.
Sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere forms aerosols, consisting of solid and liquid particles, which deflect sunlight away from the surface, making planets cooler.
The spokesman said: "Individual meat traders have been found using
sulphur dioxide to make the meat look fresher.
Sulphur dioxide and sulphites are incorporated into many food products.
The test exposes samples to salt spray within a corrosion test chamber that periodically doses the environment with
sulphur dioxide gas.
Innogy says the development is crucial to ensuring the plant meets strict European limits on
sulphur dioxide emissions by 2008.
